Stamford Superbikes, one of the UK's three flagship Suzuki showrooms, has produced two limited edition GSX-R750 K8s to pay homage to riders Kevin Schwantz and Cameron Donald. The Schwantz replica (£8799) GSX-R750 K8 mirrors the iconic Lucky Strike colour scheme the American used during his final season riding GP500 (now MotoGP) in 1995.

Schwantz shot to fame in the UK riding a GSX-R750 in the Transatlantic Races at Donington Park, beating a host of Britain's best riders. His all-action riding took him to the 1993 500GP championship on Suzuki's RGV500.

The factory finish paintwork offered on the Stamford replica is flawless and wouldn't be complete without his trademark "no.34" on the single seat unit. To complete the race bike look, Stamford Superbikes have also added a painted headlight cover, white wheels and the option of a Yoshimura Japan Tri-Oval road legal exhaust (£595 extra).
